DETAINING TIIE REGISTER OF A BRITISH sHirt A proceeding of some importance to Shipowners was taken a day or two ago at the Mansion House on this subject, and as it is one that: cannot fail to in terest the commercial part of society, it was thought that a brief review of the provisions of the law on this point would not be unacceptable to the readers of the Sun. The question arose upon the construction of the 27th 'clause of the Act of 6 Geo. IV. 110, com monly called the Ship Registry Act. By this clause it is expressly provided, that if the master of any ship or vessel having possession of the certificate of register thereof, shall wilfully detain the same, and refuse to deliver it up to the proper officer of customs, for the purposes of such ship or vessel as occasion shall require, the owners may make Complaint to a Justice of the Peace, who, is to issue his warrant to cause the offender to, be brought before him, and on proof of the offence, to convict him in the penalty of 100/. ; and in default of payment there of, he is authorised to commit the offender to prison for three or twelve months, in the discretion of the convicting Justice. The residue of the clause is Occu pied in empowering the Custom-house to register the ship, whose certificate is thus detained de novo, or, in certain cases, to grant • a license. for the present use Of the ship, until the certificate of registry is restored. Although this application was made under the Act of the. 6th Geo. 4, the provision- itself is not new to the Shipping Acts. It was first - ,introdneed Into them by the 28 Geo. 111. c. 34, sec. 13, • 14, enforced by the 34 Geo. 111. 68, sec. 18, and more effectually' provided • for by 42 Geo. 111. 61, section 20, 2L This last Aet • would, appear to' . be a consolidation of the provisions of . the - for mer Acts, and therefore to operate as a repeal of them to that extent. •But, notwithstanding, -the prin ciple of this provision is not new, the words employ ed to give effect to it differ in very many . particulars from those in which the clauses of the 28 George c , 34, and 34 Geo. 111. c. 8 were couched; and even upon the. enactments of the 20th and 21st sections ...of the 42 George 111. c. 61. By comparing, therefore, these clauses with the 6 Geo. V. c. 110, sec. 27, we may arrive at a tolerably accurate idea of the intention of the Legislature, and give a construction to the clause in unison with the policy.by which it was at the last time dictated. This comparison, is also the. more valuable, as it. seenni that no judicial exposition of the Statute" of the 6 Geo. IV. c. 110, or of the former Acts, into be found amongst the reported cases, numerous as they've. Now it is to be remarked, that the words of the Act d Geo. IV. c. 110, see. 27, say, that if the Master shall refuse to deliver-up the certificate to the proper officer of customs, the owners may complain to a Justice, from which it seems, that a refiisal to deliver tip the same in request, by the owner of the ship, would not be sufficient to render the Master detaining the certificate amenable to' the act. Such construction too would appear, by reference to the former clauses, •to be cor rect ; for it is -fair to presume, that the legislature in tended to giVe this precise effect - to the law, and not to inflict the penalty, except upon reftisal to deliver the certificate to the proper of of customs, seeing that they have not employed the general words of the clauses of former Acts, and from which. the clause in question was framed. The Act of the 28th Geo. HI. c. 34. sec. 13, says, that upon refusal to deliver, the owner may complain to a Justice, using the words " refuse to deliver," without the re straining ones, " to the proper officer Of customs," which appear in the 27f1i clause of the 6 Geo. IV. c. 110. The Act 84 Geo. HI., c. 34, recites the 28 Geo. 111. c. 34, sec. 13, and that the good purposes intended by it had not been effected, and then enacts the clause over again, inserting, however, after the words " refuse to deliver," the words " to the proper officers empowered to make registry;" and. 42 Geo. HI. c. 61, preserves these words exactly, thus demon strating the clear. intention of the Legislature not to inflict the penalty until the master had refused to de liver the certificate to the proper officer, and sot to the owners. This construction would - also appear to be neces sary, for the m a ster might be part owner, and in that capacity wo u ld have q uite as good a right to hold the c e rtificate of registry, as any of his co-partn ers . A n d, m oreover, the delivery of the certificate might involve a question of property, and whi c h m i g h t b e ex t re mely prejudiced by parting with the custody of an instrument which allowed the right of, the party h o ldi ng it to the property he claimed. _ _ __.___. In reason and justice it s hould therefore appear that y p the refusal to deli ve r a c ertificate of register must be given to one of th e o fficers of customs, before the master can be ma d e li a bl e topenalty the very heav inflicted by the Act on the w ilful detainer of this va luable document, or before a Justice wo uld be autho r = ised to issue his warrant for compelling the appearance of the master before him, to answer the charge of his owners.

This question has at last been .determined in favour of the union of certain offices in the persona, of Churchmen; and con sidering the pay and precedents of the establishment, as well as the constitution of the Assembly itself, it would he difficult to say that the decision is either very surprising or very erro neous. This is a matter, we are persuaded. much fitter for Ewing ad judged by private consciences and private talents, than by any large ecclesiastical enactments. The great cu, se of pluralism —the plurality of pulpiti—no* is, and we are sure ever will be, sufficiently removed from the Church of Scotland. Her re wards must always be paid much less in silver or in gold, than in parochial consideration and regard. Whatsoever number ut pluralities the may admit of, we are assured that they never can become, as in some other quarters, either the property or the occasion of ignorance end inactivity ; 'but are, in fact, the prices of superior, talent and additional exertion. We are rather de sirous, therefore, to let every man do as much as he is able. Let the persons who think they can do more than the Church ,requires, enlarge, as far as possible, their exertions. Let those who believe themselves to be feebler, confine their duties in pro portion to their capacity. The care, therefore, should be, not to annihilate the possibility of unions,. but to regulate, as far .as we are chic, their direction. The fact is, that a great Churchman, must be a great man in twenty other capacities. It is very well to legislate for little or greedy minds, but it is vain to think of enthralling a Splendid and buoyant spirit. Genius will out.-. If we refuse to bear it Rom . our chairs, it will follow us into our ,closets. If we do nut let it'lecture, it will print. In respect to it, time and toil stand in the inverse order of common minds. Leisure expands, and labour diminishes before them. The hindrance, besides, could do so good. A man does not become a. better preacher, because we have it in our power to force him to he &worse metaphysician. ....,-.9enteh Paper. ROE'S CORAL BANK, in theiA " YofBENO AT (From the Asiatic Journal.) TTLY 31, 181 Zr. In the Henry, bound from Penang to Calcutta, at ti r. at., going at the rate of two miles per hour, saw the rocks under the ship's bottom ; soutulvd, and had ground 8i fathoms, then 10, 12, 15, and 20 fathoms, and afterwards no ground with 80 fa thoms of line. I made he bank, by this day's observation, in la- titude 9. b 9. North, and in longitude 91. i. bO. East, by deed reckoning, having no chronometer on board. Although the evening was clear, and we were in the latitude of the high island of St,. Matthew's, no land was discernible from the mast-head. We were half an hour going over the ba►ik, which makes it about a mile in extent north and south. Stile.; the period ittate4l above, I have frequently passed here. about, without being able to re-discover the bank, until the. 25th •of July, 1825, in the ship Roburts, bound from Rangoon to Madras, steering about three miles per hour, at 7 SAW the roeks under time ship's bottom ; immediately put the helm down, and had ground 10 fathoms whilst. in stays : iu standing bark to the northward, to get off the bank, had again 10 fathoms, then no ground with the hand lead ; and by the time the deep sea lead was ready, we were in deep water. Lay this day's observie Lion at noon, I made the northern edge of the bank, in latitude 10. 2. North, and in longitude 96. 4h. East, by the chronometer ; but this i 3 probably five wiles too far to the eastward, and I think this bank lies in latitude 10.2. North, longitude 116.40. East, or thereabout ; and it bears west about 75 miles from the Island of St. Andrew. (Signed) RICHARD A. J. ROE. THE NUMBER FIVE. This number, in China, is highly regarded. The elements, according to the Chinese, are five in number : trater, fire, wood, metal, and earth. The relations amongst human beings are five, vix. a prince and minister, a father and Hon, elder and younger brother‘ husband and wife, friends. The constant virturs'are live : benevolence, koitice, propriety,. knowledge, and truth, There are five ranks of nobility, denominated hung, how, pih, be, and man_The compass has five divisions east, south, west, north, and centre. Tk►e tastes are live : sour, sweet, bitter, acrid, salt. The colours are five: azure, yellow, carnation, white, black. The huma►► viscera consist of five ; liver, heart, lungs, kidneys, and stomach. The organs of sense are live, namely, the ears, the eyes, the mouth, the nose, and the eye-brows. A. Chinese writer has given a humorous dialogue between these organs : the mouth complains of the nose being placed too near it, and above it ; the nose defends its right, by alleging that, but for it, the month might eat ordure ; the nose complains of the eyes being placed over it ; the eyes reply, but that for them the nose might be broken aga►nst unseen objects.

Farquharson, flatly contradicting the statement which appeared in oar Journal of the preceding day, announcing that Mr. F. had paid his bets on the Greneral, - and it is a matter of no small regret to us, 6414 in common with our contemporaries, we should have been led into so unfortunate au error. We are told that the mis-statement arose from misapprehension, and we sincerely trust that this has been the case ; but in the eyes of the sporting world the subject is one of no small importance, and it •now appears that it has been submitted, to .the grave consideration of the Jockey Club. This body assembled on Wednesday and yesterday, at the Claren. don Itotel, at one o'clock,. when Mr. Farqulianion appeared be fore them to substantiate the charge which he had made at Tat tersall's. 'Strong evidence-Was adduced in support of his anspi. cions, that there was "something rotten in the state of Den mark," and, after leng deliberations, an adjournment took place till this day, when the investigation is to be.resauned. There are, of course, two,sides to every question, and it would be un fair to come to any conclusion, until . all the patties have been heard ; we shall not, therefore, venture a surmise as to the pro-, blade decision to which the, Club may come. At present, it is rumoured that the General looha black. We hope, for the cake of the Vol, the explanations will be satisfactory, and that no- , thing will come out calculated to shake that honourable couli dense on which the betting circles met neesesarily,rely. We .have heard, upon pretty good k. authority, that ,the G e ner a l, a though entered in the name of Mr. Thornhill, wits,' in point of Aiwt, rt partnership concern. We have been told the. names of the Firm, but at present think it would. be .unfair to be more explicit in our explanation. It. is, hitt proper to add, that the great hulk of the betting men have paid, and among them soma individuals of the higheit rank ; how far the d ec i s i on of th e Jockey Club may affect those or future payments remains to be proved. In all events, we are satisfied, that the venerable tribu nal, to which the matter has been referred, will, for their own sakes, as well as for the sake of Mr. Thornhill, the Turf, and the public in general, explicitly state their opinion on the cha racter of the transaction. TATTERSALL'S, Juxt L The greater part of the afternoon was occupied in the settle ment of bets remaining unpaid, and we believe that many are yet unsettled. The affair of The General is still in abeyance, and continues to excite great interest. The Jockey Chili met yesterday and Wed nesday on the subject, but we understand that nothing is yet do ! . tided. • The particulars of the meetings have not yet transpired, but it is reported that the matter stands over for Mr. Farquhar son to produce evidence on the•subject. His Grace the Duke of Portland has purchased The General, and has stated the probability that the horse will not start for the Doncaster St, Leger ; this is .as it should be.

BRIGHTON, MAY 81.—The match between Maur4t, with the two Broadhridges, Saunders given, and the Club of this *re, commenced on Ireland's Royal Ground, on Monday, with the odds much in favour of the former, who made play, by taking their first innings, anti were all put out after gaining forty-eight runs. The innings; of the Home Cinb followed, and concluded . with thirty-nine runs, keying nine runs ha favour of their adversaries, and whose second innings, yesterday • morning, involving forty three runs merely, left them in advance fifty-two. The. Home Club then gained fifty-three runs, with but five wickets down, consequently they won the Match, and bud five wickets to spare. The advantage gained is attributed to the superior bowling of LftliwLite, and Lunaway, oirthe Brighton side. in the first in nings, dames Broadbridge was run out, after gaining fourteen runs --ho eommenced the second innings, sand preserved his wicket to the last; but the excellent bowling prevented his doing much, Saunders, in both innings, was bowled out by Lilliwhite, baying gained seven runs in the former, and three in the latter.--, The odds were four to one against Brighton on the second day. The triumph on • the home side has been decisive end eohrplete. OTTER-HUNTI24O.—On Friday last, a party of gentlemen from Louth met at the hospitable mention of Christo pher Taylor, Esq. of Tothill, for the purpose of enjoying the di vetion of otter-hunting. They conm►emxd operations at th e Ilolt ahOve Wither,' Mill, and pursuing- their course upwards on each ship of the river, soon found evident traces of the recent visits of these enemies to the finny tribe which they were in quest of; and it was thought that, through over haste,..they missed an otter a few fields below Claythorpe they at last succeeded in finding and killing two about half a mile above Thoresby one apparently about three months old, and another full grown, weighing twenty-two pounds, whose plump and sleek condition gave every reason to conclude that be hall robbed the strean► of many a noble fish. The same party intend to meet at Calceby bridge on Friday, at nine o'clock, and it is hoped every gentle• man who is interested in preserving and promoting the breed of fish in the stream there will send one or two men, each furnithed with a spade, pick -ate, or hatchet, as it is but too evident there are many otters thereabouts. It is to be lamented that the breed of the otter hound is become nearly extinct ; only one dog of that sort could be procured on the occasion, and he came thins Go►il ceby---he is is noble animal. Every gentleman through whose estate a front stream runs would do well to encourage the breed of the otter hound, and every lover of angling should expect per mission to enjoy his favourite diversion only on condition that he. kept a dog of that description. He whOse eye (says a. reoont traveller) can Aeon guild.' the various lit.,nelies of uncultivated nature, and whose ear is not shut to the wild sounds in the woods, will be delighted m passing up, the river Demerara. Every now and then the meant or tinamow sends forth one long and plaintive whistle from the depth of the form, and then stops; whilst the yelping of the toucan, and the Aria voice of the bird called pi-pi-yo is heard during the inter val. The emptier() never hint to attract the attention of the pastenger : at II distance of nearly three miles you may hear this snow-white bird every four or five minute, like the distant convent-bell. From six to nine in the morning the forest* resound with the mingled cries and strains of the feathered race ; after this they gradually die away. From eleven to three all nature is hushed, as in a midnight silence, and seams a note is heard, saving that of the catapanero and the pi-pi-yo; it is then that, ()mimic' by the solar heat, the birds retiro to the thickest shade, and wait for the refreshing cool of tio evening. At eunqlown, the vumpires, butt, and goat-eneitera, dart from their lonely retreat, and skim Meng the trees on the river's bank. The different kinds of frogs abut* stun the ear, with their hoarse and hollow-sounding croaking . , while the owls and goat-suckere lament anti Liman all night long.
